Look at the sample interfaces.format especially these lines:
 
GROUPHEADER:<A NAME="${GROUPNAME}">
GROUPHEADER:<FONT SIZE=4></FONT><B><p>Vendor: ${GROUPNAME} ${NUMMATCH} interfaces</p></B
The NUMMATCH variable accumulates the count for the GROUP you define.  I think you would define a group for each previously known prefix and go from there.

Subject: [NV-L] NetView 7.1.4 - Nvdbformat Question

All,
I'm using nvdbformat to create an inventory all devices being managed by NetView.
 
Our devices are located all over the world and and the first 4 characters of their host name tells you where they're physically located.
 
I'd like to use nvdbformat to count the number of devices per site but I can't figure out how to get it to key off of the first 4 characters of the Selection Name.
 
Example:
 
jfk1-01-rtr-01 ---> Syntrax = <JFK Airport>  <Area Number>  <Function>  <Number>
jfk1-01-rtr-02 ---> Syntrax = <JFK Airport>  <Area Number>  <Function>  <Number>
jfk1-01-rtr-03 ---> Syntrax = <JFK Airport>  <Area Number>  <Function>  <Number>
jfk1-01-rtr-04 ---> Syntrax = <JFK Airport>  <Area Number>  <Function>  <Number>
Total Number at JFK = 4
 
dfw1-10-rtr-01 ---> Syntrax = <Dallas Airport>  <Area Number>  <Function>  <Number>
dfw1-10-rtr-02 ---> Syntrax = <Dallas Airport>  <Area Number>  <Function>  <Number>
Total Number at DFW = 2

Is there a way to get nvdbformat to group and count devices based on the first 4 characters of the Selection Name?
Thanks for you help.
Stephanie
